In short: What can one say? Fandabidosi !!
In full: First time but definately not the last. Great atmosphere with great organisation & commitment by a great club.The course was testing but as well as the graft you had time to chat & enjoy the great scenery with a great finish in the Castle rounded of with a great Goody bag & training top. It made the shopping bill in Harrogate better to swallow !!!!!

In short: Brilliant
In full: Best organised and best value for money of any race I've done. You'd pay more than the entry fee just for the t shirt. Organisation was faultless - route well marshalled and well signed, plenty of parking, results on line the same day. Course was excellent - even enjoyed the hills. If you run you should do this race.
